Title is "no longer transmitting data." If it's repeating a pattern, then data is no longer being transmitted.

Unreadable data is still data.

Is mayonnaise data?

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is made of lots of little bytes of mayonnaise.

Quantum mayonnaise theory.

I'm a fan of the many jars interpretation

Yes.

It's not unreadable. It's not data.

If you want to be pedantic you could say it's "transmitting symbols".

If I only typed out "abaababababbaab" over and over you wouldn't call it "unreadable words." You'd say it's not words.

Omg, you can't just type "abaababababbaab" on the internet you filthy animal!
